: I started with my Point Bennett lines and made them longer, more
: narrow, and with more flare, V, and rocker. The sheer was
: restyled and the deck was designed based on my preference for
: having the feet vertical and together for the forward stroke and
: the knees low enough for rolling. The Point Bennett and Black
: Skimmer are my original designs.
